Aberystwyth
As a club that unites over 100 members a year, we give our members options to shoot competitively as well as casually. In regards to competitions, we take part in many indoor and outdoor competitions within South Wales such as Dyfed County Champs, BUCS, SWWU and varsity. In addition to local comps, we also have archers shooting nationally and internationally, not only for Aber Archers, but for Wales and GB

We are lucky to have an indoor range going up to 90m as well as excellent outdoor facilities- and the intention to be back this year stronger than ever to shake up the SWWU league!

Cardiff
Hello and welcome to the Cardiff University Archery part of SWWU. Here will be a showcase of our best moments on and off the range.
Founded in 2012, the club has been a loud voice within SWWU despite being a small club. We attend as many competitions as possible and have hosted a few in the past. Each year we try to organise a 24-hour charity shoot to raise money for various charities which have meanings to our members. Our give-it-a-go sessions are highly popular and get lots of students interested. Outside of shooting, we go on cinema trips, bowling and nights out together (as students do) and more still! Recently we have been more active with other sports societies and plan to be more involved still. We are based within the SU, close to the student housing so we are very easy to reach! We have very competitive prices compared to the other sports of a similar nature and we shoot in a stress-free fun environment. We aim (pun intended) to shoot twice a week at the SU for the majority of the year and bring as many freshers to the competitions.
Exeter
The University of Exeter Archery Club is a friendly and welcoming archery club from Devon. We focus on personal growth and improvement whatever your level of skill may be; however, if you wish to take your archery further, we have a competitive squad that train together on a weekly basis. We have successfully secured the SWWU experienced trophy for the last three years and we hope to keep this going in the future. Whilst archery is primarily an individual sport, we encourage friendship and team-building to enhance your archery experience with us!

Plymouth
Plymouth University Archery Club is an inclusive archery club that competes all over the country. The club is not only a large presence in the BUCS and SWWU community, but also a large part of the DCAS county archery society by both hosting competition and competing. We have been growing as a competitive club for the last two years, coming second in the non-compound team category in BUCS indoors (2019) and third in BUTC (2019), as well as numerous solo medals from recurve, barebow and longbow categories.
We are also one of the cheapest clubs in the country for membership, or the best value for money and medals you can get!
